Yucatan Taco Stand is Now Open on Lower Greenville

Yucatan had been quite hush-hush about its open date before a picture showed up on the social media site of diners enjoying chips and burrito bowls on the restaurant’s patio. No PR to fluff it up. No hint of a time frame at the construction site, other than a large “Coming Soon!” sign posted along the sidewalk for months. No response to the email I sent on Tuesday — not kidding — requesting an open date. (Full disclosure: Yucatan was my go-to spot for tacos and margaritas when I attended TCU, so I have been severely anticipating the Dallas opening. Calling its sudden opening a “pleasant surprise” would be an understatement.)

A full bar stocked with dozens of tequila bottles, well and not-so-well-known alike — has both inside and outside counter seating and a list of exotic beverages to choose from. Frozen and rocks margaritas both made the cut, alongside eccentric classic cocktail and margarita variations, like the pineapple-cinnamon or cucumber-lime margarita. The outside patio offers plenty of contemporary, mixed-wood-and-iron tables and benches for lounging, sipping, and testing out the menu.

See for yourself; go get a taco from the newest stand in town, and maybe you’ll have a new go-to spot for tacos and margaritas, too.
